What's On

Head to Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate to learn, discover and do something new. Whether you’re curious, creative or active, there’s an Isle of Thanet event for you.

Year-round, calendar fixtures and exciting new diary dates are themed around music, arts, sports, technology, food and drink. Many are free and, with Thanet’s fast transport links, make a perfect day out or ideal focus for a short break away.

Broadstairs tempts you with its Folk Week, three-day Food Festival, and the elegant Dickens Festival. Skateboarders, BMX-riders and music fans flock to Joss Bay for the three-day action sports fiesta that is Wheels and Fins.

The Ramsgate Festival showcases theatre, music and dance, while Ramsgate Week is packed with sailing events.

In the areas chalk rock pools, chalk stacks and rare chalk reefs teem with wildlife – discover them on one of the Thanet Coast Project’s regular Seashore Safaris.
